A Year in Review

august 23, 82 posts

Hello again everyone. It has been over a year since my first post on August 23, 2009. I have written 82 posts and I am so amazed when I look over some of the things I have done.

I started blogging as a way to keep the people I left back home updated on my goings on without having to tell everyone individually and as a way to document my life without having to keep a journal. I think it was a success.

Highlights:
-My amazing time at BYU and all the sad times too. I had a lot of trouble last year, but somehow I have gotten over it and now I am super excited to be back. I was saying to Ashley as we drove into town how much of a change it is to be driving into Provo and not be crying after leaving my home. Then there are the fun things I learned in my classes and all the blogs spent as a procrastination means to doing homework.
-My first "real" date. That first date has lead me to meet some amazing people because he has all kinds of family and friends here. Aside from that I learned a lot about just being in a relationship. We took a break over the summer because long distance was not appealing in any way. But then we talked all summer long and came out of it great friends and not just two people who are dating.
-Germany. The most amazing experience I have ever had. Talk about growth and learning, I can't imagine a better way to have spent my summer (no offense to those I left at home). I got to go to the Temple in another country! I got to go to Poland and spend an amazing time with my mother on the study tour.
-I was a big girl and found my apartment all on my own. I wasn't sure I made the right choice to be quite honest, but now that I'm here, I love it!
-I tried something new and did folk dance!

This past year has been amazing and I am so looking forward to more adventures and blogging all about them
